Objective: To develop nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen (NHAC) composite and test its ability in bone repairing.
Methods: NHAC composite was developed by biomimetic method.
Results: The composite showed some features of natural bone in both composition and microstructure. The minerals could contribute to 50% by weight of the composites in sheet form. The inorganic phase in the composite was carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite (HA) with low crystallinity and nanometer size. HA precipitates were uniformly distributed on the type I collagen matrix without preferential orientation. The composite exhibited an isotropic mechanical behavior. However, the resistance of the composite to localized pressure could reach the lower limit of that of femur compacta. The tissue response to the NHAC composite implanted in marrow cavity was investigated. Knoop micro-hardness test was performed to compare the mechanical behavior of the composite and bone. At the interface of the implant and marrow tissue, solution-mediated dissolution and macrophage-mediated resorption led to the degradation of the composite, followed by interfacial bone formation by osteoblasts. The process of implant degradation and bone substitution was reminiscent of bone remodeling.
Conclusion: The composite can be incorporated into bone metabolism instead of being a permanent implant.

Owing to their excellent properties, magnesium alloys are widely used in bone tissue engineering. However, considerable work has been conducted to control the degradation rate and improve the cytocompatibility of magnesium alloys. In this study, low-cost production introduced a new bone repair composite (PCL-nHAC/Mg-Ca), which was composed of nano-hydroxylapatite-collagen (nHAC), polycaprolactone (PCL) and Mg-Ca alloy substrate treated by micro- arc oxidation (MAO).

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys show high degrees of biocompatibility and biodegradability, used as biodegrad able materials in biomedical applications. In this study, Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) - mineralized collagen (nano-Hydroxyapatite/collagen; nHAC)/Mg-Ca composite materials were prepared, to study the angiogenesis ability of its composite materials on Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and its osteogenesis effect in vivo. The results showed that the PMMA-nHAC reinforcement materials can promote the proliferation and adhesion in HUVECs of Mg matrix significantly, it can enhance the migration motility and VEGF expression of HUVECs.

Magnesium (Mg) alloy with good mechanical properties and biodegradability is considered as one of the ideal bone repair materials. However, the rapid corrosion of Mg-based metals can pose harm to the function of an implant in clinical applications. In this study, micro-arc oxidation coating was prepared on the surface of the Mg-Ca matrix, then the chitosan and mineralized collagen (nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen; nHAC) were immobilized on the surface of the MAO/Mg-Ca matrix to construct the CS-nHAC/Mg-Ca composites of different component proportions (the ratio of CS to nHAC is 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2, respectively).

In the present study, we aimed to compare the effects of icariin (ICA) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) on osteoblast proliferation and osteogenesis in bone defects. We found that ICA or BMP-2 treatment is able to increase osteoblast proliferation, which was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). Specifically, ICA at a concentration of 30 µg/ml had the strongest ability to promote cell proliferation, which is equivalent with the effect of BMP-2 at a concentration of 50 µg/ml.

Nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HA) coating has been proved to be effective to modify the titanium surface for better bone formation. A simple and economical nano-HA coating method that filling the nano-HA particles into the porous titanium substrate by using vacuum suction was introduced in this study. Two kinds of nano-HA modified titanium surfaces, nano-HA filled type (nHA-f) and nano-HA coated type (nHA-c), were prepared by a 2-step and 3-step protocol, respectively.
